The success or failure of this initiative in terms of personnel exchanges will depend on the way it is effected. The organisations or authorities which represent the volunteers must be considered when arrangements are made for their transfer. It is important that people transferring to another country know their terms of reference and what to expect and are fully aware of all the elements of their new life. I do not have any doubt that this will lead to greater understanding and appreciation between the two forces, North and South. I know the situation has improved dramatically in recent years but there was a time when friendships were not great. There are personal friendships between members of the police forces, North and South. I hope this measure will help to forge better friendships which would bring about better policing.
